Raccoon-(Mxm) (Rever Series 6) Epilogue

(Snowman will be ending this one, as always. I’m sure he’s happily shedding down on everyone from heaven.)

He couldn’t have been happier. 

Flipping a burger on the new grill they’d just purchased, Baron watched the two loves of his life play on the huge jungle gym they’d built last week. 

Prince was hanging on the monkey bars with Tili’s kitten easily balancing on his fuzzy shoulders and head. 

They had switched shifts again, leaving him to watch a relaxing Rexy while his hyper raccoon enjoyed running around with King and his daughter. 

Several months had passed and Tili was already two weeks into pre-K. She absolutely loved it, and he loved being able to have some more alone time with his boyfriend. 

He was glad that King didn’t change at all after their first time together. Sometimes he wanted to have sex, but other times he didn’t. He never hesitated to decline if he wasn’t interested, and that was totally fine with him. 

Adding some sliced bell peppers and pineapple to the grill, he checked the other burgers before returning his attention to his loves. 

They had moved to the slide now, with Prince carrying Tili’s kitten as they zoomed down it with Prince on his back and Tili riding on his fuzzy belly. They landed in a bit of a lump, but it didn’t take them long to untangle themselves, then, surprisingly, run all the way up the small grassy hill and onto the deck towards him! 

With a kitten climbing his left pant leg and a raccoon hugging his right, Baron quickly got his cooking done and set the full plates aside. He’d intended to pick up both his loves and get them ready for dinner, but when he suddenly got much closer to the ground, he realized that dinner was just going to have to wait. 

Rexy wasn’t too interested in playing, but Prince didn’t seem like he was going to take squeak for an answer. He soon had the poor otter in his arms and was dragging it back down the hill with Tili happily prancing along beside them.

He was promptly tugged up the little steps and platforms to the slide, then unceremoniously tossed down it with a startled squeak! He managed to recover quickly once at the bottom, and moved away just in time to avoid being bowled over by a plump raccoon and purring kitten!

Although, honestly, as he stood to the side and watched the two untangle themselves again, he couldn’t not see it. 

She’s grown. 

When she ran over to him a moment later, he realized just how much. 

She’s getting close to Rexy’s size already.

He was going to cry. 

Through all of the stress of the past few years, on top of their most recent dilemma, he’d missed watching his daughter grow up. 

Tili didn’t seem to sense his unease, however, because she immediately began circling him, rubbing the side of her face against his while at the same time, nipping at his nose!

You little brat… I love you so darn much. 

Prince came over at that moment and, seeing Tili as an example, promptly grabbed poor Rexy in a bear hug and began trying to fit the little otter’s entire face in his mouth!

Of course, Rexy wasn’t going to stand for that kind of treatment, and before Prince could thankfully do any damage, he got quite a few paws to the snout until he regrettably released him. 

They all played for a while longer on the equipment, though Rexy was dragged more than anything, until he had to run back over to the grill area and shift to answer his phone. 

What he heard on the other end had him grinning and looking back over towards the two brats still running around. 

“Hey Tili? Wanna go sleep over at grandma’s tonight?!” he called to her, making Prince and Tili’s kitten freeze abruptly to process the information. 

Prince only needed a moment to think about it before he reached out to grab Tili, unwilling to share, but her cat was faster and easily leaped out of range as she darted over to Baron and promptly climbed up his leg as soon as he had his pants back on. 

The utter look of heartbreak on Prince’s fuzzy face made Baron force himself not to laugh. 

“I think we have a resounding yes from Tili.”

King’s mother replied with enthusiasm and said that she’d cleared her schedule for the rest of the day and the next morning and would be over shortly to pick up her sweet granddaughter!

As he hung up, Tili shifted and got situated in his arms to be brought inside. It took only a few minutes for her to get her things ready, as she wasn’t a very materialistic girl. She’d left a large amount of the things her mom had bought her when she’d moved, not wanting her new room to be cluttered like her old one had been. 

“You be good for Grandma Anne, okay?” Baron said as Prince waddled over and hugged her around the waist once she was fully dressed, not wanting to let go of his baby… until they’ve played more. 

“Yes Daddy!” she said excitedly before leaning over a little and hugging Prince tightly. 

“I’ll be back Princey! Take care of Daddy till then, okay? and eat lots for dinner” 

The chubby raccoon gave a few wines of disagreement, but eventually he calmed down… with a strawberry in each hand. 

He tried to waddle his way out the door on his back legs to follow after Tili once Anne came to pick her up, but Baron easily reached down and grabbed him, preventing the grand escape. 

“Have a good night you two, I’ll see you both tomorrow,” Baron said cheerfully as Prince shoved a strawberry in his mouth to drown his sorrows.

As soon as the door was closed, however, Prince was looking up at Baron, his large puppy dog eyes doing their best to guilt more strawberries out of him to replace the two that had just mysteriously disappeared. 

“Come on, we’re gonna eat what we cooked,” he told his other half as the raccoon protested and wiggled, but couldn’t even come close to squirming free. 

Mainly because he was just trying to put on an act and didn’t want to actually be put down. 

Prince adjusted himself to Baron’s shoulders and got comfortable as his new servant packed and put away some of the food for them all to share tomorrow, then used the rest to make a plate for both of them to eat from while relaxing on one of their outside lounging chairs. 

It took two full burgers and a couple slices of grilled pineapple before Prince relinquished control, leaving a gorgeous, and naked, King splayed out over his chest. 

Thankfully, they had a nice privacy fence up so he didn’t have to worry about people looking in. 

Grinning, Baron finished off his last bite of burger, then reached down to rest his hands on either side of King’s warm backside. 

“Ready for our first match as an official team?” King asked as he rested his head against Baron’s shoulder and lifted his beautiful eyes to meet his. 

Ah right, we do have a match soon. 

“Of course,” Baron replied, though it was clear from the look on his love’s face that he didn’t believe him. Or, at least, didn’t think he’d remembered. 

“U-um, you’re really distracting,” Baron said honestly as he squeezed King’s backside a little… then a little more. 

His ex wife had always hated his grabby hands, but King simply got himself a little more comfortable, then closed his eyes to relax. 

I love you so much…

They remained that way until both his and King’s phones went off at the same time with their reminder that they did, in fact, have a match to get to soon. 

Baron reached over and silenced his phone, but there was no way to reach King’s without getting up. 

Alright, alright. 

Groaning quietly, he adjusted his lover until he was situated in his arms, then stood up and carried him inside like a bride on their honeymoon. 

It still felt like that, too. 

Even before they’d begun their physical relationship, he’d always looked forward to waking up in the same apartment as King, then in the same bed. 

He never thought he’d love anyone ever again after what had happened to him, but then a sweet young guy came along and picked up his terrified raccoon, and loved him so much that he was able to put not only the broken pieces of his life back together again, but also the pieces of his heart. 

“Pause,” King said, making Baron blink out of his thoughts right before he was about to sink his teeth into King’s throat to make a nice hickey. 

Oh, right, streaming soon. 

With a camera on. 

Leaning away a little, he made the observation that King’s neck was quite clear of any previous marks he’d given him. Everything had healed perfectly. 

Just a little nibble…

Of course, he wouldn’t do it, even if he wanted to. King had said no, so that was that. 

“You can make a new one after,” King said a moment later, making Baron immediately beam at him!

“For now though, give me back my little brat,” he said as he leaned up and sealed his lips over his own. 

Baron immediately sensed Rexy respond and run back into King’s body. To his surprise, however, the little otter was soon dragging a snoring Prince back into his own mind, clearly not willing to share his space anymore. 

As soon as the unconscious raccoon had crossed the threshold Rexy returned to King’s mind, making Baron grin as he leaned away. 

“All set, love?” he asked before glancing down, then back up to King’s face. 

“Ah, need clothing,” he stated helpfully as he finally let King slip out of his lap and stand up. 

He watched unabashedly as his man walked around their room getting dressed, despairing losing the sight of his gorgeous naked body, but glad that he was putting on an appropriate outfit. 

His streamers didn’t need to see anything extra. 

Baron pursed his lips as his mind betrayed him and unintentionally imagined King sitting in front of his audience without a shirt on… or other articles of clothing, though thankfully the lower areas were off-camera. 

Still…

“Babe, no need to get jealous. I’ll only ever strip for you,” King said as he walked over and pressed a kiss to Baron’s nose, then leaned back and winked. 

He’s so cute. 

He’s so damn cute. 

“You’re adorable too, my Prince,” King replied to his thought as he dropped down into his gaming chair and got his computer started up. 

Baron blushed a little and got up, himself, then walked over to get dressed and settled into his own chair. He had on King’s jersey, while King now wore one that proudly displayed the words Prince on its front. It had been gifted from the owners of Infinity, just like the King jersey had. 

Being only a few feet away from each other, they knew that having two active mics wouldn’t work, but instead of Baron moving to the spare room, they just decided to have Baron’s mic on push-to-talk, so he’d just have to hit a button if he wanted to say something. That way it wouldn’t pick up any of King’s conversations. 

Tugging on his headset, he got his own new computer up and running, then logged himself in. 

His adorable cat boy character had gotten some rather incredible upgrades in the past few weeks and was now looking very much like the pro gamer his owner now was. 

Both of their contracts had also seen a pretty nice improvement in terms of money and duration. Of course, King was still making the bigger bucks, but Baron was definitely climbing the ladder and had a nice paycheck coming in now. 

“And here they are folks! Our newest official Infinity team, Team Royalty!” the MC said enthusiastically as they both joined the match’s voice chat channel. 

Their characters were quickly warped to the starting arena as the MC introduced their opponents. 

Baron could sense Rexy eager to watch the match through his bond with his love, but his own little one was still out cold, snoring contently in his own mind. 

“Good evening,” King said politely, though his smirk foretold what he was really thinking. 

They wouldn’t be polite during this match. 

He’d realized pretty quickly that King enjoyed playing to the camera in his own way. He definitely wasn’t an ass, like Grim, but he also wasn’t a sweetheart all the time like Renegade. 

He was a reasonable mix somewhere in the middle. 

Now, himself?

He was generally quiet, but now that he didn’t have to have his microphone on all the time, he got away with a few whispers and grumbles here and there about the audacity of some people trying to sneak up on his love or trash talking him in general. 

In all honestly, the Prince had more or less taken the role of protector while the King had taken a small step back and now devised strategies and focused more of massive magic attacks, but was always ready to switch skills at the drop of a hat. 

They worked together perfectly, in sync no matter what was thrown at them both in the game, and in real life. 

It was incredible to watch them play, and behind the scenes, Baron found it incredible to simply live their lives. He’d been given not only a second chance at it, but a second perspective. 

He loved his boyfriend. 

He loved his daughter. 

He loved his new stepmom. 

And, most importantly, he had come to love himself. 

He felt Prince squeak sleepily in the back of his mind, clearly slightly frustrated… or just hungover on food. 

Ah yes, how could I forget. I love you, too, sweetheart. I’m so glad we both got our second chance, and I promise that there will be many, many strawberries in your future. 

Prince lifted one paw up while still lying on his back and gave an excited squeak before promptly falling right back to sleep. 

Baron grinned and looked over at King, and King met his gaze without hesitation, then gave a quiet chuckle and smiled contently. 

Love you, B and P, King thought to him. 

You’ll both forever be mine and Rexy’s Princes.
